The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City Celebrates Spring with its Cherry Blossom Offerings

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – April 2, 2015 – While spring may be the most eagerly awaited season around the world, no place bursts into blossom quite like Washington, D.C.

Ritz-Carlton hotels, including The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, and the luxury brand’s properties throughout Japan collaborated on an exclusive guide to get the most of the cherry blossom celebration.
